Hi guys, can anyone suggest why, when I connect to my rsync server, I'm not prompted for a username and password but instead I'm only prompted for a password? I have "auth users = username" set in /etc/rsyncd.conf and a corresponding entry in /etc/rsyncd.secrets but still rsync only asks for a password.

Hi guys, I am experiencing a very strange problem with passwords and username with rsync. I have a "auth users" line in my /etc/rsyncd.conf file (see below) and a corresponding username and password in my /etc/rsyncd.secrets. The strange thing is is that authentication for the module listed in /etc/rsyncd.conf (unixadm) only works IF the username in /etc/rsyncd.secrets is the same as

Here is a newbie question. Hope, you will not mind. I am trying to backup a file from my NT machine onto AIX machine. Here is the setup: NT machine (testor): rsync is in c:\Rsync\rsync.exe and is running as a daemon. (I created a service for Rsync first).

This is my first post so first of all I will say hello to everyone. I have rsync configured and working properly on my local network however when I try to connect from a remote host (one located in a different state) the connection times out. I was wondering if there was another way to set the timeout besides in the rsyncd.conf file? As I said the connection works fine on the internal lan, but

Hello, let me describe my setup. Source server is debian wheezy, rsync 3.0.9 Destination is qnap TS-410, with rsyncd enabled, rsync 3.0.7 I'm trying to rsync two files, which are exported from source server as iscsi targets (windows iscsi backups). Files are on btrfs, so I use snapshots during rsync, so files don't change. One file is 50GB, second is 550GB in size. Initial sync over

I am planning on rsyncing between 3 different computers that all have the same username, but different passwords. Is there a way to specify which user from which host belongs to which password? Or do I have to use different users between the 3 boxes? Thanks for the help, Mike

I just installed rsync on two machines, I think I'm a complete moron, and I need a clue bat. The remote machine's /etc/rsyncd.conf (just for testing): use chroot = no log file = /var/log/rsyncd.log pid file = /var/run/rsyncd.pid lock file = /var/run/rsync.lock [auth] path = /var/www/auth comment = apache authentication files. read only = yes Then for a test, I fired up

I'm running FreeBSD 4.6.2 on two different machines. Both machines have rync installed by way of the ports library, but one of them is running it as a server. I followed the directions in the man pages for running the server using inetd. Here is what happens: rsync rsync://myusername@10.0.0.8/ rsync: server sent "rysnc version 2.5.5 protocol version 26" rather than

I have read the MAN page and the Rsync page and have set up an /etc/rsync.conf but I can't seem to get it working. I have tried starting the daemon and adding the correct entry on the server hosts.allow file, but I just get "Connection refused" from the server. Surely this can't be that difficult, but I am at a bit of a loss. Can anyone help? Regards, Brad

I compiled and tried rsync 2.5.0 but could not get the server running. loadparm.c:string_set() now calls free() which it did not do in 2.4.6 and this free() tries to free memory that was not allocated with malloc. Here is a gdb run (done after adding return before fork() in become_daemon) which shows where it crashes and what my minimal config file for demonstrating the bug was. The config file
